[Icehouse] Re: Icehouse Commercial

I didn't think of doing a multi-game spread like that! Good idea, thanks
David. That reminds me... I need to print out some Eeyore boards, and maybe
a nice Volcano board, too. *runs off to Kinkos*

As for length, I'm more concerned with keeping a viewer's attention. A quick
overview of all the games in one video, with maybe more in-depth videos for
each game sounds like a good idea to me.
What does everyone think? One monster Icehouse vid, or a lot of little ones?
